educational programs and pell grants. they can cut those without consequences. more and more with the younger generation, they're digital. we need online registration. >> well said, by the way, in the state of california, many state legislators were saying that the reason they cut higher education for the uc system first is they figured there was the least amount of political consequence for them in doing so because young people don't vote. the case that we're making to people is not just vote because of the historical importance or because of the necessity as american citizens, but money equates to vote because they allocate money and resources on the basis of how groups turn out and that's critical. >> if they think they can cut you without consequence, they will. >> they will. >> part of the sin nichl here, too, is the youth vote was a critical vote in the 2008 elections. to this point of who is most impacted, both the people who have been getting much, much more engaged in our electoral process. these are first -- many times they're first-time voters. and what we're doing is essentially s

question. the simplest answer has to do with education. if you adjusted those rates for the various education levels within each of those groups, they'd be a lot closer. for example, if you look at the unemployment rate for high school graduates, it's probably around 8% or 9%. college graduates, around 4%. one explanation. and, look, there's still discrimination in our job market against minorities, that's another explanation. >> okay. look, it's not just jack welch, whom we heard from, perpetuating this conspiracy theory. look at these interviews. congressman alan west, senator john mccain both on cnbc. here we go. >> i know. >> you are alleging specifically that the president is engaging in a cover-up of the data. you are saying that the administration is actively manipulating that data. correct? >> well, absolutely. >> frankly, i am not enough of an economist to question exactly what those numbers are. our discussion about the warren act that just took place where there are blatant violations of the law, i wouldn't put anything past this administration. >> you know, these are sit

trillion tax cuts? who won't cut education, insists his health care plan covers people with pre-existing conditions. it's the same guy who now says his 47% comments were wrong. did mitt romney take his mask off or has the emperor got no clothes. >>> also, we're beginning to learn more about the flawed strategy that caused president obama to lay a debate egg wednesday night. one thing they agree on, it can't happen again. it best not happen again. >>> and unemployment rate dropped sharply last month. add rick santorum and newt gingrich to the list of republicans who would like to see big bird on the unemployment line. i guess they've had to much education, those guys. >>> and finally, what the jobless number means and why some people don't like looking at it. this is "hardball," the place for politics. >> after losing about 800,000 jobs a month when i took office, our businesses have now added 5.2 million new jobs over the past 2 1/2 years. this morning we found out that the unemployment rate has fallen to its lowest level since i took office. more americans entered the work forc

on government regulation, education and health care. >> how would repeal it? >> it's a lengthy discussion, but number one, preexisting conditions are covered under my plan. >> that assurance is misleading, and later on an adviser had to clarify what mr. romney actually meant. under mr. romney's plan, he said, preexisting conditions would only be covered for people who already have insurance to begin with, but are changing jobs and, therefore, health insurance plans. that's not what most people think of when it comes to preexisting conditions. ironically, the health care law that mitt romney signed in massachusetts and remains in place, it does allow for preexisting conditions whether they have health cainsurance or not. we will be watching big bird and his good friend oscar the grouch. it certainly got my attention. but first we have political analyst roland martin. do you think mitt romney is taking more centrist positions? >> the 47% comment really breaks down into two. the pejorative way he talked about the 47%, you didn't show my clip. when you asked me about that the day afterwards,

, but he always said, you know, education, education is the key. he was never a politician, but he always said you have to raise your voice if you want to say something that's correct. it's wrong, this, that. it was very emotional going back. >> is there optimism there? you saw yourself. we see those pictures of you with the children, and you see yourself. do they believe they have a future because this country has just been torn for so many years when it comes to the civil war. >> yes. a lot of bloodshed took place. especially the young men. they really fought this war. it was 30%, 60%, 70%, almost 100% people went and voted for referendum that say something. that people had none, and they really want to start to rebuild. >> what is the biggest chamening, do you think for your people there, alek? >> oh, my goodness. i think the challenges right now is the growth, of course. the land itself is very flourishing, is very rich. the culture, the people. everything is incredible. i mean, i think the most challenging is the -- to be able to educate because 50%, 60% of the nation are the youth.

't afford to gut our investments in education or clean energy or research and technology. we can't afford to roll back regulations on wall street banks or oil companies or insurance companies. that is not a jobs plan. it's not a plan to grow our economy. it's sure not a plan to strengthen our middle class. we have been there, we have tried that. we're not going back, we are moving forward. we have got a different view about how we create jobs and prosperity in this country. this country doesn't just succeed when just a few are doing well at the top. it succeeds when the middle class gets bigger. our economy doesn't grow from the top down, it grows from the middle out. we don't believe that anybody is entitled to success in this country, but we do believe in opportunity. we believe in a country where hard work pays off and responsibility is rewarded and everybody is getting a fair shot and everybody is doing their fair share and everybody is playing by the same rules. that's the country we believe in, that's what we've been fighting for for the last four years, that's what we are going to

to make sure that folks have hope and opportunity, a good education? we bring back some of the manufacturing jobs and continue on this path to progress. >> there is a reality that on the campaign stump, mitt romney has been denied a line that he's been relying on when it comes to 8% unemployment, which was a significant marker. this is how he's been talking about it this fall. >> we've had 43 straight months with unemployment above 8%. he said that he'd create jobs, and instead we have unemployment now still over 8% for 43 straight months. >> the symbolism, mike murphy, is there for everyone to see. you get below 8% it matters. >> it becomes a good political club for the obama folks. but fundamentally, i don't think america woke up and said, hey, everything is fixed. we feel great. you can still see the economic worry. the middle class has been buried for four years. i think what's changed is not statistics out of d.c. i think we make a lot of that. it's the perception out in the states. >> but that's been a great point, chuck. when you see people feel better about the e

year. when i look at education and where i work in the division of the money that comes in, i think it is unfair oftentimes. i think we have taken on a lot of debt to supplement pensions in the public sector and the private sector. my brother works at gm and there is so much money for some people and not enough for others. i have applied for so many different positions. my degree is in social work and it is difficult. i have a master's and i don't know if i can take on any more student debt. i just don't make enough money to pay it back. host:, its debt? -- how much debt to dax caller: it's a lot, it is over $25,000. host: tells all about about full-time teaching jobs. what were you teaching? caller: i was teaching pre-k autistic children and i enjoyed it very much. it was a very difficult work but it is no more difficult than some of the schools i have travelled to in northern michigan. if i go back to school, it would probably be a teacher but you have to wonder if you will find a job. substitute teaching does not pay well. some of the districts are very poor, like $2.50 for half

continued growth in professions in business and also in local government, education, and more importantly in health care and those are areas that i know something about, i've been traveling around the country and we're seeing more investments in manufacturing and high-skilled labor areas and that's where you need to play the focus and we need congress to cooperate with us to make sure we can go. >> we can go through all of the talking points we do every month, madam secretary. congress needs to do more and i want to read you one tweet for jack welch who used to run general electric and a man who knows a bit about economic data is created and this is his tweet this morning, madam secretary. unbelievable jobs numbers. the chicago guys will do anything, can't debate, so change numbers. what do you say to him? >> i would say that i have the highest regard for our professionals that do the calculations in the bls. they are highly skilled economists trained in this area, and you have to look at two surveys that have been done. the payroll as well as household survey. you see where those two bit

take care of your families and provide for your future, feel secure in your retirement, educate your kids and make tomorrow better for them. this is unacceptable to a great country like ours. >> sean: california, paying nearly $6 a gallon for gasoline. let me show you the price of gas, when barack obama became president, it was $1.84 a gallon. today, it's $3.79. up over, you know, twice as much as we were paying. if you look at national debt under president obammasm this is a guy who said that your boss, george w. bush was irresponsible and unpatriotic for taking a credit card in the name of our quids kids and grandkids and borrowing from the bank of china. $6 trillion by one four-year term, more than george bush in 8 years. >> at least, we were growing the economy, while bush was in office. we are not growing the economy -- we are growing the debt much faster than the economy. think about this when president obama came into office, the public debt --ont the total debt, secured in the form of a bond and sold, was equal to 40% of gbr dp. because of the stimulus bill and the increase i

being added pushed from full time into part time. they are younger, less educated. unskilled. lower paying. >> if you are working part time you come off the unemployment rolls, that goes into the unemployment rate. that's a legitimate thing to talk about this is important. 14.7% unemployment when you include the marginally attached to the workforce. that is precisely the same number as the previous month. >> 14.7 when you say the people who don't have full-time jobs. >> >> don't have full-time jobs who have given up looking. >> do you know what i think is even more important than that? that income, household median income is now $5,000 since the president has been in office. because whether you have rising gas prices, rising health insurance prices, rising almost everything prices, all right, and then your income is going down because there aren't a lot of jobs and employers can say take it or leave it you don't like it, i can replace you easily, that's really the end carat. that's why i think the president is going to have some trouble. >> i think you are exactly right. another num

work if you don't have regulation. i don't have any plan to cut education funding and grants that go to people going to college. as president i will sit down on day one -- actually, the day after i get elected, i'll sit down with leaders, the democratic leaders as well as republican leaders and continue -- as we did in my state, we met every monday for a couple hours. talked about the issues and the challenges in our state in that case. we have to work on a collaborative basis. not because we're going to compromise our principle, but because there's common ground. >> so that doesn't sound as severely conservative as he did during the primaries. >> no. >> and of course it gives the obama campaign the opportunity to remind people about mitt romney as the governor of massachusetts and say, okay, this guy is a flip-flopper. so they started out by calling mitt romney an extremist, now he's a flip-flopper. >> he certainly didn't sound severely conservative at that debate. here's the question. why aren't those who are really severely conservative going through the roof right now? >> good qu

behind the impulse to regulate, to expand health care, to expand education, but i want to do it in a different way and here's why my way is better. that's an effective style of argumentation. that's what he showed. it's going to be up to the president if he can rebut it to do so in the next debate. he didn't do it in the first debate. >> we've got a couple more ahead. john harwood, thanks very much. >> you bet. >> let's get a check of this morning's other headlines. chris jennifer anist chris jansing is in the news desk. >>> five terror suspects have lost a yearlong fight to avoid facing charges in the u.s. they arrived today after being extradited from britain. the best known in the group is this radical preacher wanted in this country on charges of trying to set up a terrorist training camp in oregon. >>> there is a verdict in a scandal that rocked the vet can. pope benedict's butler was found guilty today of stealing pope benedict's secret documents and leaking them to a joushlist. the documents detail infighting and other problems in the catholic church. paolo gabrielle h

without college education and talking about regional issues where florida and the southwest have high unemployment whereas nebraska doesn't have high unemployment. you have this whole industry that predicts these numbers, but these are very hard numbers to predict. people are almost always wrong. >> absolutely, jonathan, let me bring you in. house speaker john boehner and eric cantor issued statements credit sidesiiticizing the numb. they didn't go further than that. is there a perception out that the conservatives and republicans if they don't tick up, especially the unemployment rate specifically they're seen rooting against the economy in some ways because you celebrate if it went up to 8.2% to 8.3% by saying, see, further proof the obama administration is is messing up the economy further as opposed to saying let's look at both sides as john pointed out. unemployment has ticked down, but we have a battle here in a stalled or stagnant position? it seems to some people that the republicans are rooting for disaster in hopes of being able to win the coveted prize of the white house. >

in denver. mr. romney struck centrist sounding positions on government regulation, education and most notably, health care. >> if obama care is repealed, how would you replace it? >> actually, it's a lengthy description but number one, pre-existing conditions are covered under my plan. >> pre-existing conditions are covered under my plan. keeping them honest, that assurance is misleading and a short time later, a top campaign adviser had to clarify what his boss actually meant. under mr. romney's plan, he said, pre-existing conditions would only be covered for people who already have insurance to begin with, but are changing jobs and therefore, health insurance plans. that's not who most people think of when it comes to pre-existing conditions. ironically, the health care reform law mitt romney signed as governor and remains in effect today in massachusetts does mandate coverage for anyone with pre-existing conditions, whether they already have health insurance or not. a bit later in the program, we will talk about one of the few moments that mr. romney failed to strike a tone of mode

early childhood education... slash k-12 funding... and cut college aid for middle class families ... they won't go far. yet that's exactly what mitt romney wants to do... ...to pay for a $250,000 tax break for multi-millionaires. if mitt romney wins, the middle class loses. priorities usa action is responsible for the content of this advertising. >>> good saturday morning. i'm chuck bell. we're off to a partly cloudy to mostly cloudy start here in the nation's capital and there will be a chance for a few quick little sprinkles today. nothing major. current temperatures are mild. upper 50s to low and mid 60s around much of the metro area. you can see on storm 4 radar a couple light rain showers now just to the west of hagerstown and it'll be a scattering of very light rain showers off and on through the late morning and afternoon today. so becoming mostly cloudy. scattered showers today. it'll be nice and mild. temperatures mid to upper 70s. tomorrow practically cold with highs barely into the low and mid 50s at best. richard, back to you. >> thanks. we've got more news and weathe

the middle class, looking to support education, not wanting to see the health care cuts that are in the romney/ryan plan, those policies supporting women are much more popular than mitt romney's policies, and i think that the obama team is going to kind of double down on that over the next few weeks. >> let's talk about a piece on cnn.com. you gave president obama some tips on how to win the first debate. >> right. >> writing in part, this is a great little read. you wrote my final piece of advice is most simple. stay nice. no, you're likable enough comments. no jokes about dogs on top of the car, >> reporter: marking about how rich romney is, no patronizing lecturing when he has his facts wrong. just stay nice. but looking back, i mean, you say he didn't do so badly but by all accounts the president remained calm, maybe too calm for some of his supporters, didn't engage in the attacks, didn't use the bain capital, didn't use the 47% attacks, and -- and the overwhelming consensus, of course, was that romney won. what's your advice for him for the next debate? do you stil

obama, looking to support education, not wanting to see the health care cuts, those policies -- supporting women -- are much more popular than mitt romney's policies. i think that the obama team is going to double down on that over the next few weeks. >> brett, your reaction to that? >> well, you know, on wednesday night, those policies didn't look so good. a debate's about a competition of ideas, especially a political debate. so the president's got to be able to defend those policies if they truly are superior, and on wednesday night he didn't do a very good job of doing that. >> columnist david brooks and peggy noonan praised romney's performance after its missteps in recent weeks. brooks writing this. romney finally emerged from the fog and at long last began the process of offering a more authentic version of himself. noonan wrote this, america got its first sustained look at the good and competent mr. romney. how much do you think does the public support of leading conservaves like the two of them help romney, not just with republicans but with undecided voters? >> i th

of the educational system to not be defensive of her position. she needs to learn how to defend her position. there is a 13-year-old girl in ro chest the fer who wrote an essay criticizing the substandards. she was an a student have student and now she is getting a b. >> this student was a victim of a bully. she was being bullied not by a student, not by a teacher but by a union member posing as a teacher. this union member, yes, let me make my point here. she had been empowered by her union she could do no wrong. she will never get fired. she took that power and used to harass a student. sa. she is still getting paid and not fired. how do i know this is true? because she said this is democrat school. she what she meant to say this is a democrat union and this that republican shirt is threat to my guaranteed job. they are guaranteed job factories, union members get a job. >> heather: he does make a couple good points. one of the things. it was said teacher said you can't wear a republican student in a democratic school. that bothered me. then the second thing, she had not been fired. should

. >> i'm so sorry. please educate me. >> the bigger point was, not what he said the other night but when i talk about steve ratner and people that worked with him in business and liberals that worked with him in business, people that worked with him in the olympics, they all talk about this great man. you talk to his sons. you see him in his family setting. you see a great man. and i've always said a great man. and i've always said he's a great man. he's a lousy politician. i think we may have seen the mitt romney that debated in 2002 in massachusetts that was a revolutionary when it came to bain capital. and turning companies around. very impressive guy. but i want to follow up really quickly. then we've got to go. because a lot of times we focus on the negatives and the mistakes people made. willie, i want to go back to something you said which i think it's just the best thing i've heard all week. because you have the same feeling i had. because everybody's looking at the screen going -- i looked up at both those guys on the screen halfway through the debate, and the president had a do

is using latino celebrities, targeting education, immigration and the appointment of sonia sotomayor as the first hispanic justice on the supreme court. but the romney campaign is using family. mitt romney's son, craig, who speaks fluent spanish, talks about american values and bipartisanship. this is the chief marketing offer of cultural strategies, he's analyzed the marketing strategies and sees obama and romney targeting specific groups in the latino community. romney chasing the more conservative cuban-american vote, obama focusing on puerto rican and mexican-american votes. but to get the votes, the message doesn't have to be delivered in spanish. >> we have to keep in mind that the latino community is not monolithic and there is latinos who are by lingual and prefer information in english so you have to reach latinos not only in language, but also in culture. >> reporter: recent poll shows president obama has aamong lati nationwide. the fight is on. ed lavandera, cnn, san antonio, texas. >>> and you can see more when latino in america courting their vote airs on cnn this sunday

on their own. >> the post office and all of that. >> they take advantage of an educated population that comes from our public schools. nobody does it on their own. that rhetoric is destructive. >> wait a minute. if they build that business on their own. whatever you want to call it. >> in concert. >> in the flourishing of american society and the community and all the great things that we all love, once that person dies, oftentimes because of the estate tax he has to sell that business instead of passing it on. >> often times this is a tiny, tiny incident. >> the percentage of these people is negligible and we've actually put provisions in our tax code to allow people to spread that over, say in the case of farms, over 14, 15 years. and we can do more. i can understand for that very small number for which that's a problem we have ways of handling that that does not force the sale. >> that brings up a question which i'd like to hear. so i'm a liberal or i'm a skeptical egalitarian. i'm one of the people i mentioned in the poles in the last hour who doesn't have a big ideological commitment. i

to that, student loans. of course, people getting student loans are getting education for their money. they're not spending it on cars or clothes. other debt has been going down. this is taking a long time, and it's going to continue to take a long time, but in these very slow and almost imperceptible ways, the economy is healing. >> is there any reason to believe that when those new job numbers come out just four days before election day, that they wouldn't be consistent with this kind of pacing? something that we saw on friday? >> well, as ali pointed out, those job numbers are volatile and they zigzag. that pattern has been in place, and we did see some very odd patterns. i'm sure there was no fixing of the numbers, but the numbers were odd. but these numbers often get sort of smoothed out over time. they recount, they become more accurate over time. we could see another zig in the other direction when that report comes out. some economists say they would not be surprised at all if the unemployment rate went back up to 8% or above 8%. that might straighten out some of the anomalies
